Adam Reichman, Burlesque, Chicago Afrobeat, Celia's kids show, Lou Barlow - A Great Weekend at OB

[Kit Kellison]

We’re very proud to present a wonderful jam-packed weekend designed to
inspire and delight.

Thursday, August 19

Those who love singer/songwriter Adam Reichmann will remember his
excursions in Nadine and maybe even Soulpatch, if you’ve been paying
attention. Roy Kasten of the RFT, in his KDHX blog said this about
him:
Reichmann is one of our best songwriters, with a natural feel for
tone, image, hook and emotional pitch. And he’s one of our most
emotionally true singers. His voice, high and breaking and clear,
hides nothing and can grab you by the throat of your heart.

From Annie Zaleski of the RFT: Lou Barlow…(performed) a solid solo set
backed by his current touring collaborators, the Missingmen. (Fun
fact: They just so happen to be members of Mike Watt's backing band,
the Secondmen, which explains why they manhandled feedback and guitar
effects with such ease.) Whether he's recording as Sebadoh, Sentridoh,
Folk Implosion or under his own name, Barlow is a consistent
songwriter of ragged acoustic and strident rock.
